Aldi and KFC, Salford
ÂŁ1,800,000 Client: Praxis Real Estate Management
The project involved the construction of two new build developer shells at Salford Shopping Centre. One unit being for Aldi and one for KFC. The sites are positioned at opposite ends of the Shopping Centre where the previous shopping centre and market hall were once located. Both sites are enclosed by busy highways. The 2,661 sq ft KFC unit and the 15,306 sq ft Aldi unit have both created new jobs in the area. Both the KFC and Aldi retail unit construction consisted of vibro compaction piles with stripped foundation and supporting slabs to support the steel frames. Single ply insulated roofs, brick and blockwork walls and aluminium glazed windows and doors completed the buildings. External works comprised new vehicular accesses which were completed by adapting the existing car park facilities to provide new clearly signed access and egress. Additional car parking spaces were created and the new drainage and services connected into the existing provisions. Hard and soft landscaping was completed and ties into the scheme running across the site.
Key Issues and How They Were Managed Health and Safety was planned, managed and coordinated during the construction phase in order to ensure that risks were properly controlled. We worked closely with all of our subcontractors to identify hazards and assessed the risks, including risks created for others. We also liaised closely with the local operational businesses to manage deliveries both ours and theirs. We also communicated the different construction phases and activities which would occur on the site including any potential disruptions. These regular meetings also allowed us to address any issues which arose as a result of changes with the businesses and addressed any concerns which were raised. Site inductions were completed by every staff member and any visitors to the site. Regular safety and progress meetings were held with our Client, subcontractors and Site Team to discuss health and safety performance and potential risks associated with upcoming activities. Risk assessments and method statements were updated accordingly as the project progressed and regular toolbox talks held with all site staff and covered risks identified.

Contract Duration: 21 weeks Form of Contract: JCT and Build Contract 2011 with Amendments
Being in close proximity to local operational businesses and residents we erected a dust security screen to the perimeter of the site to prevent the spread and contamination of areas by dust. This screening also helped to reduce noise levels experienced and prevent unauthorised access to the site. Whilst carrying out the works we came across 120, 1m x 1m concrete bases within the ground on the Aldi site. These were once part of the market hall which was previously located on the site and required excavation and removal off the site before works could recommence. The bases were crushed to aid their removal from the site. Successful Outcomes Practical completion was achieved to the programme date. We were immensely proud of this as 5 weeks were lost due to severe rain. Through careful planning and working additional hours on evenings and weekends we handed the buildings over on time. The existing tarmac from the car park was removed and reused as fill to build up levels across the construction sites. This reduced the waste that would have been sent to landfill and also removed the requirement of quarried
materials being transported to the site and thus reduced the vehicle emissions associated with working on the site. A storm water tank was installed on each site to store water during heavy down pours. This system was fitted with flow regulators to restrict discharge into the drainage system and prevents the drainage system from being overloaded during heavy rainfall and potentially backing up and flooding the area.
Quorum Retail Park, Longbenton
ÂŁ1,111,000 Client: Hotspur Land Ltd
The scheme comprised the design and construction of a retail parade, office space including fit out, and detached single storey restaurant unit, all associated external works, external lighting, services and ancillary works required to provide a complete and habitable development. The buildings were constructed using a steel frame with curtain walling and rendered masonry or rain screen cladding. A ‘Sarnafil’ single membrane roof was chosen due to its versatility. The internal fit out the office development provided individual office space, board rooms, open plan office space, welfare areas and the installation of all required Mechanical and Electrical components. In addition a new car park was created for the retail complex and serves all units. The paved walkways, tactiles, bollards and landscaping matched the existing business park design. There was a requirement for a new bus stop and lay by as the business park has its own dedicated service the Quorum Shuttle and Quorum Express.
Key Issues and How They Were Managed During excavation works we discovered an unchartered gas main running through the proposed development which necessitated diversion prior to the continuation of the works. As well as this gas main we also uncovered a further three electric cables, BT line, water and sewerage pipes and a fibre optic line during our additional surveys. We were able to plan our works around the diversion to mitigate against any delays. All were diverted and laid under the new footpaths and charted. Health and Safety to all is our priority. The site was located on land adjacent the existing business park and occupied buildings. We used both heras fencing and solid hoarding to segregate our site and provide clear pedestrian walkways. Within our site we had clearly defined working and resting areas and designated safe walkways and traffic routes. This project was completed without any injuries and this is an achievement we are very proud of. As a company our Safety, Health, Environment and Quality Team carry out regular, unannounced site visits. We have a benchmark of 3.75 and this project achieved a high score of 4.05.
Quorum Retail Park, Longbenton
Contract Duration: 24 weeks Form of Contract: JCT and Build Contract 2011
To minimise disruption to the occupiers of the business park and their staff we scheduled all of our deliveries around peak traffic periods. It was agreed with all parties that the restricted deliveries should be between 8am and 9:30am and 4:00pm to 6pm. Whilst constructing the new lay by and bus stop we primarily worked out of hours and weekends as this avoided unnecessary disruption. This method limited the amount of traffic management required and resulting disruption this can cause. Successful Outcomes We worked closely with Quorum Developments to keep all tenants informed of developments and had regular progress meetings with all parties including the architect, CDM Coordinator and subcontractors. These meeting discussed project progress, Health and Safety issues and enabled us to address any issues or concerns at the earliest opportunity and mitigate against any impact upon the programme. This close working relationship with all parties resulted in a project which was completed to a high standard and handed over on time within the agreed budget.
As a company we believe in contributing to our local economy and the environment. The required works were carried out using local suppliers, with the exception of the steelwork contractor who was based in Darlington. By using local contractors, we saved on haulage and travel which reduced our carbon footprint. As an outcome from working within this area, we have set up a school engagement programme with Longbenton School. We have partnered with a number of key businesses to deliver an employability programme to final year students to provide practical support to school leavers entering the job market. The programme commenced in January 2013 and is currently being delivered to more than 100 students.
